Living in Park Forest, IL
It is impossible to discuss Park Forest without mentioning its origins. Incorporated in 1948, the village was one of the nation's first post-war planned communities. The village was designed to provide homes for GIs returning from World War II, which came to be a common neighborhood development practice throughout the '50s and '60s. As a trendsetting community, Park Forest embodied - and continues to this day - what was a revolutionary concept in 1948: Single-family starter homes, a commuter-based lifestyle and family-friendly subdivisions allowed residents to enjoy a small-town vibe without sacrificing urban conveniences.
Park Forest distinguished itself from other suburban communities in a very important way. From its incorporation, the village sought diversity and pioneered a community in which people from all walks of life, ethnic backgrounds, religious communities and lifestyles lived side-by-side on friendly neighborhood streets. Boasting a 40-year commitment to its Fair Housing Ordinance, Park Forest has always demonstrated outstanding character and accepting values.
Park Forest Attractions and Special Events
